The ACLU works to ensure that everyone can make the best decision for themself and their family about whether and when to have a child without undue political interference.
UPDATE: On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, dismantling the constitutional protections for abortion that have existed for nearly 50 years, allowing politicians to force women and other people who can become pregnant into second-class status.
